After hearing this, Lin Feng realized that he had underestimated the soul masters of this world.
The “best spirit ring configuration” exists because it is safe.
A god-level spirit can absorb thousand-year rings—but what if it fails?
The cost of failure is too great.
Absorbing spirit rings depends on the body, but at a young age, no one can clearly judge how strong the body is.
At only six years old, even a genius could destroy their future by trying to absorb a thousand-year ring too early.
Yes, some succeeded—but that is just survivor bias.
Most geniuses still follow the safe standard.
The more you exceed it, the greater the danger.
Even for god-level spirits, success only gives stronger skills.
Failure destroys the future.
“So, Feng’er,” Qian Daoliu said gently,
“it’s better to absorb hundred-year rings. You are smart, and your spirit is special, but failure is something you cannot afford.”
Lin Feng nodded, looking a bit disappointed.
“Grandpa, you’re right. Even if thousand-year rings are stronger, they are too risky. It’s not worth gambling my future.”
Qian Daoliu smiled.
“Exactly. Your future is to become a god. Losing everything for two rings would be a huge loss.”
“Winning gives little. Losing costs everything.”
Suddenly, Lin Feng’s expression changed. He looked excited.
“Grandpa, I think I can absorb thousand-year rings now.”
Qian Daoliu frowned.
“Didn’t you understand what I just said? I won’t allow it.”
Lin Feng quickly said,
“Grandpa, listen to me. I have a reason.”
Qian Daoliu paused and decided to hear him out.
Lin Feng explained:
“Just now, while we were talking… it contacted me.”
“‘It’? The God of Order?” Qian Daoliu asked.
“Yes,” Lin Feng nodded.
“It told me that absorbing spirit rings depends on physical strength. If I want to improve my body at a young age, I can take something called whale gelatin.”
“It can strengthen the body and allow a soul master to handle thousand-year rings.”
“Whale gelatin?” Qian Daoliu was surprised.
He knew it as something used by nobles, not for training.
Lin Feng continued:
“Yes, it has side effects, but small amounts are fine. Over time, it can improve the body.”
“If Spirit Hall collects it, maybe in the future, many soul masters could use thousand-year rings as their first and second rings.”
Qian Daoliu asked,
“But what does that have to do with you right now?”
Lin Feng smiled.
“The God of Order told me my limits.”
“My first ring can reach 1,384 years.”
“My second ring can reach 1,736 years.”
“So I can absorb thousand-year rings.”
“If it’s what the god said… you should trust it, right?”
Qian Daoliu thought for a moment.
“If it’s the god’s words, then it should be correct.”
A god would not harm its own inheritor.
Lin Feng continued excitedly:
“And it also said—if I absorb thousand-year rings, it can help upgrade them into ten-thousand-year rings!”
“And they will be growth-type. As my power increases, they can even reach one hundred thousand years!”
“What?!” Qian Daoliu was shocked.
This was unbelievable.
Even the Angel God had never given such benefits.
This level of support was far beyond normal.
Lin Feng added:
“The god also said my spirit is very special. It cannot be judged like a normal six-winged angel.”
He smiled proudly.
“So, Grandpa, do you still disagree?”
Qian Daoliu sighed and smiled helplessly.
“Fine. If God says so, then do it.”
“I also want to see these growth-type spirit rings.”
Just moments ago, he had been teaching Lin Feng to be cautious.
Now everything has changed.
“Let’s go,” Qian Daoliu said.
“I’ll take you to find thousand-year spirit beasts.”
He grabbed Lin Feng and quickly moved through the Star Dou Great Forest.
